Best Friends Til The End

A best friend will be by your side no matter what the situation is.

What truly is a best friend?

Well, I'll tell you.

A best friend is someone who answers the phone at three in the morning when you are having a panic attack from all of the built up problems in your life. They are someone who holds you accountable for your actions. A best friend calms you down when you feel like your world has been turned upside down, and I'll be damned if I don't have the best one that has ever walked this earth.

Now let me tell you about my best friend.

My best friend was the only person to be nice to me when I moved to her school in second grade. She has stood next to me through all of the highs and lows that I have encountered so far. She's has never questioned my judgement, just politely told me her opinion on the situation. Since the day that I met her, I have never once questioned whether she would have my back. She has been my rock and my shoulder to cry on through the toughest situations that life has thrown my way.

My best friend knows how to make me laugh at times when I don't even want to smile. Even though I live six hours away from her, I know that I can always count on her to be there for me when I need her. She has grown to be more than my best friend, but instead, my family. Family is forever and that's how long my loyalty to this friendship will last.

So, to my best friend:

Thank you for being nice to me 12 years ago because I never would have been able to make it through all of these years without you. You have lifted me up and put me back on my feet countless times, and I am not sure how I will ever repay you. You have shown me what it is like to have someone that you can always count on. I love the fact that even if we don't talk for a while, it's like no time has passed at all. The only difference is that we have a lot more to share with each other. You have been my go to since as long as I can remember because I know that you will never let me down. You have been the biggest blessing, and I will never be able to express in words how thankful I am to have you in my life. You will forever hold a place in my heart. Thank you for always pushing me to do what I love, and for never judging me for my failures. You have been my backbone since I was seve years old and most likely will be until the day that I die. Thank you for always having my best interest at heart, and for encouraging me to to things to my full potential. You will never know how much your friendship really means to me, but without you I wouldn't be the person that I am today. Thank you for being my person.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

Here are just a few of those things.

It sucks, but you’ll make it through

1. Please just be seasonal allergies

2. I must not have gotten enough sleep last night

3. I’ll just take a little nap

4. Oh no, I have so much due tomorrow!

5. I’m fine, I’ll just sleep it off

6. Do I have to be responsible today?

7. Ugh no, I can’t actually be sick

8. Alright, I’ll take some medicine and I’ll be fine

9. This is the worst day of my life

10. Mom?

11. She was right (like always)

13. You think about taking the day off, but realize you have like three tests

14. You think you're actually going to be sick forever

15. Finally, you're better!

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

15. Don’t make them call your name twice.

16. Sleepovers are not a thing.

17. Despite all of these things, you know your parents love you.

For better or for worse

1. Pets

2. Mornings

3. Mistakes

4. Cooking for yourself

5. Hosting

6. Taking care of yourself

7. Holidays

8. Roommates

9. Keeping focused and getting stuff done

10. Cleaning

11. Social life

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”
